Error Message not Specific Enough #7

Open tansanchian opened 1 week ago

Instead of giving error message of the specific error ("missing address field"), a general error message "invalid command format" is given.

Team's Response

Thank you for the bug report!

We believe this issue qualifies as NotInScope for the following reasons:

Error Handling is Functional: The current error message clearly informs the user of an invalid command and provides the expected format for correction. This ensures the software fails gracefully and remains usable, fulfilling the basic requirement of error handling.

Resource Prioritisation: Addressing this issue would require significant effort to parse every possible error case and provide specific feedback. Given the limited scope of our current iteration, we prioritised broader functionality and usability enhancements over granular error messaging.

As such, while this could be a useful enhancement for future versions, it falls outside the scope of the current release, and we believe it satisfies the second point to prove a bug is NotInScope image.png
